To All Explorers Around The World,
I have the sad duty to announce the passing of Explorers Club Medalist Captain Don Walsh MED’61, who alongside Jacques Piccard was the first human to the bottom of the deepest point in the ocean, the 10,916 meter Challenger Deep.
The Challenger Deep expedition is part of the foundational bedrock of the story of The Explorers Club.
One of our five Famous Firsts - Don quite literally set the standard by which we measure ourselves as explorers.
First to the Poles, First to Everest, First to the Moon — when we walk on Mars, that accomplishment will be in no small part due to the runway laid by Don, and an indomitable generation of trailblazers like him who have made this Club what it is today."

More carbon than expected and an abundance of water were found in the 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid sample returned to Earth by #OSIRISREx. The two combined could mean that the building blocks for life on Earth might be locked in these rocks: go.nasa.gov/45sL5TQ
